The story is about a poor farmer from Rajasthan coming to Mumbai in search of a livelihood.[4] The film was released on 30 May 2014, and won rave reviews from most critics. In spite of releasing on just 350 screens, CityLights became a success due to its low cost of production and consistent collections at the box office.[5]
